Implementation Steps

  1. Download BiXBiT firmware for Whatsminer
  1. Check the control board model and the firmware version installed. This can be done using WhatsMinerTools:
WhatsMinerTools interface
or by checking the Status -> Overview tab in the ASIC web interface:
ASIC web interface
  1. If your device has a control board H616
Control board H616
use WhatsminerTool to install the firmware by uploading the file «Whatsminer-ALL-Models_X.X.X.bin», where «Х.Х.Х» - is the firmware version.
  1. If your device has a control board H616 and the firmware version is before December 13, 2023 or if BiXBiT firmware is already installed:
Firmware installation
use WhatsminerTool to install the firmware by uploading the file «Whatsminer-ALL-Models_X.X.X_h616-before20231213.bin», where «Х.Х.Х» - is the firmware version.
  1. If your device has a control board H616 and the firmware version is after December 13, 2023:
Advanced firmware installation
use the firmware image «Whatsminer-ALL-Models_Х.Х.Х_h616-after20231213.img » and the PhoenixCard utility to write the intermediate firmware version to an SD card. Then use the SD card to flash your device to the intermediate firmware version. The detailed process of flashing ASIC via SD card is shown in the video. After installing the intermediate firmware version, update your ASIC to the latest BiXBiT firmware usingWhatsminerToolwith the file «Whatsminer-ALL-Models_X.X.X.bin».

FAQ

Is it free to use BiXBiT's custom ASIC firmware?

Our custom firmware for Whatsminer and Antminer includes a developer fee, which is automatically deducted during device operation to keep the firmware up to date.

  • for the M2x series — 2%
  • for all other firmware — 2.8%.

How to install the firmware correctly?

You can read the step-by-step instructions or watch the video tutorial on YouTube.

Where can I get a complete list of profiles?

To get a list of profiles, use the Auto Profile Generation feature in the Overclock tab. This takes about 40 minutes, and the results depend on the environment and the condition of the ASIC.

Why does the ASIC have a low hash rate after selecting a profile?

After selecting a profile, the ASIC undergoes an “Autotuning” process, which takes up to 1 hour, depending on the environmental conditions and the state of the ASIC. After completing the “Autotuning” process, the ASIC will enter the selected operating mode.

Does ASIC lose its manufacturer's warranty when using custom firmware?

The warranty is not void due to the firmware. To transfer the warranty, you need to reflash the ASIC to the factory firmware using an SD card.

Is it possible to restore the device to factory firmware?

Yes, there are two ways to do it:

  • via SD card — completely removes traces of custom firmware;
  • using WhatsminerTool — the firmware will be rolled back, but traces of the custom firwmare will remain.

Why can't I install the firmware via SD card?

There may be several reasons:

  • the SD card is faulty;
  • the SD card capacity is too high (we recommend using cards up to 8 GB);
  • the installation files have been recorded incorrectly;
  • there are problems with the SD card slot on the device.

What should I do if the firmware won't download or the website is temporarily down?

Try the following:

If the problem persists, contact technical support, which is available 24/7
